You can run your business as a private limited company. This means the company:

  • is legally separate from the people who run it
  • has separate finances from your personal ones
  • can keep any profits it makes after paying tax

This guide highlights the tasks that you must complete to set up a limited company. 

You’ll need various details, including a suitable company name and provide a registered company address.

Once you have all the details, you can register your company.
